Most likely not a "Proof" mark as such.

Please give us more to go on, what gun is it and what are the other proof marks?

Thanks

Not a T within a Crown, but a Crowned T

Crown T - The Crown/T is an established Serbian marking, which survived into the post WWI era. It has been found as a prominent mark on the Serbian Model 1899/07 as well as a wide variety of other weapons, which were used by the Serbs during and after WWI. I know of three Model 95 Mannlicher Stutzen�s or Stutzenkarabiniers, which are marked with a Crown/T and in one instance, a Crown/H as well. It is impossible to confirm whether these rifles were marked as captured reissued weapons during WWIor as war reparations after 1918. In addition, the Turkish Model 1890 rifles that were converted into short rifle configuration following WWI by the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later day Yugoslavia),were universally marked with a Crown/T. Either way, there is no question that this mark was used by the Serbs before, during and after, WWI.

Right off, I don't think it to be a Serbian Crown over T?

The T is used in several different configurations but could find none with a crown on guns built at the Tula arsenals in Russia. Does this gun possibly have Russian connections?

all that I know is it's a percussion musket. The only other marks on it that I can see and that the owner says are there are large capital N D on all the brass parts. The T crown is on a few of the brass parts as well next to the N D
